About the Scholarship

We are seeking a PhD student to join an ongoing project funded by the Australian Research Council, under the supervision of Prof. Xia-Ji Liu. The research will be conducted at the Centre for Quantum Technology Theory (CQTT). This full-time PhD scholarship is available for a duration of three years.

Polaritons, known as quantum fluids of light, are unique particles that are half-light and half-matter, exhibiting superfluidity—frictionless flows with zero energy cost. This project aims to advance our understanding of polaritons in the strongly interacting regime far from equilibrium, addressing the knowledge gap needed to achieve room-temperature superfluid light. This breakthrough is expected to usher in a new era of quantum polaritonics, laying the groundwork for energy-efficient lasers and all-optical transistors, and positioning Australia as a global leader in the commercialization of innovative photonic technologies.

The project will open a new direction in the studies of quantum polaritons by addressing several challenge topics,

Determining the polariton-polariton interaction strength, Clarifying the non-equilibrium phase diagram of polaritons at very strong light-matter coupling,  Exploring emergent quasiparticles of polariton-polarons in the highly imbalanced condition.
About you 
To be successful in the role, you will have:
Mater or Honours  Theoretical background in ultracold quantum gases and condensed matter physics  Demonstrated experience in numerical simulations  A valid working with children’s check card (or ability to obtain prior to or upon commencement).
A full list of selection criteria is available within the position description. 

About Swinburne University of Technology
Swinburne Horizon 2025 draws upon our understanding of future challenges. With this new strategic plan, we choose to build Swinburne as the prototype of a new and different university – one that is truly of Technology, of Innovation and of Entrepreneurship, and proud of it. We are committed to a differentiated university proposition in education and research, so that:

Every Swinburne learner gets a work experience Every Swinburne graduate gets a job Every Swinburne partner gets a tech solution Swinburne is the prototype of global best practice
The achievement of our 2025 moon shots depends on our capacity to work collectively, always, as One Swinburne.
